Kim Kardashian's model sister Kendall Jenner had a brush with police on Monday evening (15Dec14) as she was driving home from Christmas tree shopping with her friend Hailey Baldwin. The 19 year old's Range Rover was pulled over by traffic cops in Santa Monica, California and they reportedly cited the brunette beauty for driving without headlights.
Pictures show Jenner being handed a ticket by a police officer before she was allowed to continue with her journey. Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, sat beside her in the passenger seat.
The incident occurred after the pair spent the afternoon shopping for Christmas trees in Beverly Hills, California, according to Dailymail.co.uk.

Justin Bieber has dismissed rumours he is romancing model Hailey Baldwin, insisting he is "super single".
Selena Gomez's ex-boyfriend has sparked speculation he has moved on from the failed romance by spending a lot of time with the 18 year old, who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin.
The pair was photographed out and about in Los Angeles, but Beiber took to Instagram.com on Monday (15Dec14) to quash rumours of a budding romance.
Along with a photo of himself with Baldwin, Beiber added the caption, "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u (sic) would know."
Baldwin also previously insisted their relationship is strictly platonic, saying, "I've known him since I was so young - since I was like 13 - and we've just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close, and there's nothing more to it than that."

"I've known him since I was so young - since I was, like, 13 - and we've just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that." Stephen Baldwin's model daughter Hailey dismisses romance rumours linking her to childhood pal Justin Bieber.

Actor Stephen Baldwin has been fined $500 (£313) after pleading guilty to a traffic infraction. The Usual Suspects star was charged with driving on a suspended licence following an arrest in New York in May (14).
Baldwin insisted he had no idea he had been banned from driving and subsequently discovered local authorities had suspended his permit as a result of his $400,000 (£250,000) tax debt, which he had paid off just days before.
In June (14), he pleaded not guilty to counts of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree and unlicensed driving, but he recently reached a deal with prosecutors and returned to a Manhattan court on Friday (31Oct14) to settle the case.
He changed his plea to guilty and, in exchange, the misdemeanour charges against him were reduced to an infraction.
His attorney Richard Southard tells the New York Post, "Mr. Baldwin is happy to have cleared up his license in this case and is looking forward to focusing on his work."

Goodfellas stars Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino enjoyed a surprise reunion last week (ends05Sep14) when they both attended a New York premiere afterparty for Liotta's new film The Identical. The old pals were spotted catching up in a shared corner booth of White Street restaurant, as fellow guests Stephen Baldwin, Marisa Tomei and Seth Green mingled, reports the New York Post.

Actor James Caan and Barbra Streisand led tributes to their late pal Lauren Bacall following the actress' death on Tuesday (12Aug14). The 89-year-old movie legend died after suffering a stroke at her home in Manhattan, New York.
Caan, who worked with Bacall in 1990's Misery, shared his sorrow in a statement to Entertainment Weekly which reads, "She was a great, uplifting lady who was full of talent and fun. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her. I will miss her dearly."
Barbra Streisand, who directed Bacall in The Mirror Has Two Faces, says to Billboard.com, "What a terrible loss for us all... It was my privilege to have known her, to have acted with her, and to have directed her... And, most of all, to have had her as a wise and loving friend. She was an original. Even with all those great films we can visit again and again, she will be missed."
Alec Baldwin writes on Twitter.com, "The great Betty Bacall (her birth name) is gone. Read her first autobiography, BY MYSELF. I love that book," while KISS rocker Gene Simmons adds, "Lauren Bacall - sad. R.I.P. She was a class act. She will be missed."
Alan Cumming uploaded a picture of himself with the late actress and writes, "You are a sensation and a killer! (First thing BB ever said to me) RIP Betty you sensational killer," and Richard E. Grant adds, "Worked with Lauren 'Betty' Bacall who called herself a 'Broad'.Took no prisoners, but if she liked you, you were friends for life. Unique."
Other stars have sent their condolences via social media, including John Cusack, Stephen Merchant, Belinda Carlisle, Boy George, Dita Von Teese and Lynda Carter.

Alec Baldwin is leading the tributes to his TV mum, stage and screen legend Elaine Stritch, following her death on Thursday (17Jul14). The actor worked with the Two's Company star on his hit sitcom 30 Rock, in which Stritch played his sharp-tongued mother Colleen Donaghy - a role which won her an Emmy Award in 2007.
And he was among the first celebrities to honour her memory on Twitter.com on Thursday as the news of her passing broke. Sharing an article about the loss of the 89 year old, Baldwin writes, "A woman that I loved and admired, and a true one in a million, has gone to her rest."
Girls creator and star Lena Dunham celebrated Stritch's lengthy career by making reference to her Tony-nominated Broadway performance of The Ladies Who Lunch from Stephen Sondheim's 1970 musical Company, tweeting, "Here's to the lady who lunched: Elaine Stritch, we love you. May your heaven be a booze-soaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle (New York hotel she once called home). Thank you".
Meanwhile, singer Josh Groban remembered the veteran actress as "one of a kind and just the wittiest", and Anna Kendrick added, "Elaine Stritch man. Hell of a performer, spirit and woman. This one really hurts. Today's work is for you ma'am. Crazy love."
Early tributes have also poured in from the likes of Christina Applegate, James Van Der Beek and writer/director Joss Whedon.

Actor Stephen Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to driving on a suspended license. The Usual Suspects star appeared in court on Wednesday (18Jun14) to face aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree and unlicensed driving charges stemming from an arrest last month (May14), after rejecting a deal from prosecutors to plead guilty in the case, according to the New York Daily News.
Baldwin explained the suspension stemmed from his failure to pay $400,000 (£250,000) in taxes to the state of New York, and now that his financial obligations have been met, he is confident he will be able to clear up the license suspension.
He said, "I didn't know my license was suspended. I had a tax issue but I paid it last week."
The 48 year old was originally due in court on Monday, but missed the hearing due to a contractually-obligated promotional tour for 2047 - Sights of Death.

Actor Stephen Baldwin has dodged a legal bullet after failing to appear in court on Monday (16Jun14) to face unlicensed driving charges. The Usual Suspects star was due to appear in a New York court on aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree and unlicensed driving charges stemming from an arrest last month (May14), but he was unable to attend the hearing because he was in Toronto, Canada on a contractually-obligated promotional tour for 2047 - Sights of Death.
His lawyer asked the judge overseeing the case to "stay" a bench warrant to allow his client "time to come in", insisting Baldwin would be there on Wednesday (18Jun14).
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Alexander Tisch granted Richard Southard's request and ordered the actor to appear in court later this week, according to the New York Daily News.

Summary

Although the youngest and the last of the famous Baldwin brothers to pursue an acting career, Stephen Baldwin nonetheless made a name for himself on series such as "The Young Riders" (ABC, 1989-1992) and in films like "The Usual Suspects" (1995). After attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for a single year, he began picking up television and film work, including a guest spot on the sitcom "Family Ties" (NBC, 1982-89) and a co-starring role in the military drama "The Beast" (1988). Baldwin's run on "The Young Riders" opened the doors to feature film efforts, including "Posse" (1993) and "8 Seconds" (1994). With his well-regarded turn as a career criminal in Bryan Singer's "The Usual Suspects," it seemed as though the young actor was poised to reach the starry heights of his older brothers, Daniel, Alec and Billy. On the other hand, embarrassing projects like "Bio-Dome" (1996) did much to dispel such speculation. His portrayal of Barney Rubble in "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" (2000) marked one of Baldwin's increasingly rare by then feature film appearances, paving the way for a string of made-for-TV and direct-to-video movies, and his becoming a familiar face on the reality television circuit. An outspoken born-again Christian, Baldwin began to channel his energies into his ministries and political activism, as his briefly high-profile acting career took on relative footnote status.

Notes

With his brother William, Baldwin was co-owner of Alaia, a restaurant in Manhattan.

In 2006, Baldwin, Mario D'Ortenzio, and Bobby Brewer founded Breakthrough Ministries, which was designed to utilize extreme sports as a ministry via arena tours, which were referred to as "AsSalt Tours."

In 2008, Baldwin formed a for-profit organization called Antioch Ministry.

In 2009, he launched a third ministry called "Now More Than Ever," designed to reach enlisted men and women in the military around the world.

Baldwin filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York on July 21, 2009, according to a court document that said he was millions in debt. He claimed he owed more than $2.3 million and owned a New York property valued at only $1.1 million. His wife Kennya Baldwin was also named in the document.

Baldwin sued fellow actor Kevin Costner in 2010, claiming Costner tricked him into prematurely selling off profitable shares in a company that built machines designed to clean up oil spills. Baldwin sought $17 million in damages. After a two-week trial, the jury sided with Costner and gave Baldwin nothing.

He was arrested in New York on Dec. 6, 2012 for repeated failure to file personal income tax returns.
